He is still weeing the temperature has gone

Hello,

Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use Imodium for diarrhea.
-Take probiotics.
-Avoid spicy foods, fruits, alcohol, and caffeine until 48 hours after all symptoms have disappeared.
-Avoid chewing gum that contains sorbitol.
-Avoid milk for three days after symptoms disappear. You can eat cheese or yogurt with probiotics.
-Do a stool test to confirm the diagnosis.
